NCTC Extends President’s King
Contract; Signs MSU Deal Around
By Nikki King
The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – The North
Central Texas College Board of
Regents gathered for a regular
meeting at 1:30 p.m. on the afternoon of Monday, August 15,
where it was unanimously decided
to extend the contract of NCTC
President, Dr. Brent Wallace.
Regents discussed the President’s
evaluation and contract during Executive Session and immediately
upon returning into open session,
the board unanimously approved a
one-year extension to Dr. Wallace’s
contract as well as the same 3 percent cost of living increase offered
to the college employees. Board
Chair Karla Metzler said, “I think
that the future is bright with Dr.
Wallace.” Regent Jon Grime said,
“I, too, would endorse Dr. Wallace. He does a phenomenal job.”
Board members unanimously
approved a facilities partnership
with Midwestern State University.
NCTC and MSU will be partnering on a 30,000 square foot
new facility near NCTC’s Flower
Mound campus, which will allow
students to finish their associate’s
degrees while seamlessly continuing their education toward select
baccalaureate degrees on the same
campus. MSU President Dr. Suzanne Shipley was present for the
meeting and stated, “We look forward to providing new options
for students completing degrees
at NCTC. Together Midwestern
State and NCTC can position students for professional success with
a generous array of fields to study.”
A public hearing was held re-
garding the proposed 2016-2017
NCTC Budget. There were no
speakers on the matter and therefore, the board immediately moved
to vote on the budget. Dr. Janie
Neighbors presented the proposed
budget at $56,819,510, noting
that the 2016-2017 proposed bud-
get is less than a 1 percent increase
from last year’s budget and includes the 3 percent salary increase
approved at the previous meeting. Board members approved the
2016-2017 budget unanimously.
Regents also adopted the 2016
Ad Valorem Tax Rate of 1.219
per $100 valuation. This is a rate
of 0.881 for M&O and 0.338 for
I&S for the combined total rate of
1.219. Dr. Neighbors explained
that the rate is basically flat and
that she would recommend this
rate as it is the lowest rate without

Gainesville City Council Amends
Park Ordinances; Holds Tax Hearing
By Nikki King
The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – Gainesville City
Councilmembers gathered at City
Hall for a regular meeting at 6:30
p.m. on the evening of Tuesday,
August 16, where they completed
the third reading consideration of
amendments to two City Ordinances.
On the third reading, members
of City Council adopted an ordinance which prohibits vaping,
or the use of e-cigarettes, in the
City of Gainesville parks, as well
as the walking trail and within
city buildings. This request was
brought forth by the Boy’s Baseball of Cooke County and was
recommended by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board. This
ordinance does not ban vaping in
public or non-City owned buildings, nor does it prohibit business
owners or businesses from banning
vaping inside of their buildings.
Councilmembers also adopted
an ordinance restricting dogs from
going within 200 feet of the baseball fields at Leonard Park and the
baseball fields at Edison Park, near
Fair and Broadway Streets. Boy’s
Baseball of Cooke County made
this request as well as people were
bringing their pets to the park and
not cleaning up the feces left behind by the dogs. The Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board voted
against the banning of pets near
the baseball fields.
The first public hearing was held
regarding the proposed tax rate of
$0.70503 per $100 valuation for
the City of Gainesville for Fiscal
Year 2016-2017. No one wished
to speak regarding the proposed
tax rate. Mayor Jim Goldsworthy
announced that Council will vote
to set the tax rate at the regularly
scheduled meeting on September 20, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers of the Municipal Building at 200 South Rusk
Street.
Members of City Council completed a second reading consideration and approved the actions
of the Gainesville Economic Development Corporation (GEDC)
TxDot Schedules Work
on U.S. Highway 82
GAINESVILLE – Traffic will see
improved commutes in Gainesville on US 82 with a $4.7 million TxDOT project. Construction crews will start work next
Monday, August 22. The project
will involve US 82 from I-35 to
FM 371. The job will also include rebuilding Weber Drive.
The Weber Drive work is being
paid for by the City of Gainesville as an add-on to our contract
with Jagoe Public Construction.
The City’s contribution is $1.1
million. Weber Drive’s pavement
will be replaced with 8 inches of
concrete. When completed Weber Drive will have four lanes,
2 in each direction. The Weber
Drive work will kick off Sept. 6.
Meanwhile US 82 will see a
lot of changes and improvements
during the upgrades. Most noticeably will be the shoulder and
median work to accommodate
restriping the road from two
lanes to three in each direction
from I-35 to Grand Ave. We will
also be doing intersection work at
I-35, Lawrence St., Grand Ave.,
Hillcrest Blvd., and Fair Ave.
The work at Grand Ave. includes
new traffic signals, a turn-around
lane, frontage road work, and a
new ramp to eastbound US 82.
The project is expected to be
completed August 2017. However, the job is dependent on good
weather and the contractor will
be given more time for weather
delays. US 82 will have multiple
construction sites working at
once. Drivers should be aware of
workers, lower speed limits, lane
closures, and detours.
Remember traffic fines will be
double when workers are present.
to approve an economic development incentive for Texas Trailers,
Inc. An incentive of $20,000 was
approved by the GEDC for business expansion and job retention.
The current Texas Trailers property
is valued at $1.3 million and they
are planning a $1.4 million expansion.
The Cooke County Appraisal
District budget for 2016-2017 was
approved for assessment and collection of ad valorem taxes. The
portion to the City of Gainesville
is a combined total of $142,053.58
for appraisals and collections.
The sale of alcohol at the Frank
Buck Zoo was approved for October
1, 2016 for the 17th annual Zoobilee
festival. The Frank Buck Zoological
Society will sell alcohol during the
gated event, which takes place after
regular zoo hours, to help foster attendance, revenues and awareness
for the Frank Buck Zoo.
An ordinance was adopted
which adds Refinery Road to the
designated truck routes for commercial trucks throughout the city.
The request was made by the developers of the property located at
the corner of Highway 82 and Interstate 35 in hopes that deliveries
could be made at the rear entrance
of their offices and restaurants instead of along the front entrance
service road.
In consent agenda items, councilmembers approved the minutes
of the August 2, 2016 regular City
Council meeting.
Members of City Council retreated into Executive Session at
6:43 p.m. for Attorney Privilege.
No action was taken upon returning into open session and the
meeting was adjourned.

Laron Dale Robinson
History
Laron Dale Robinson of
Bellaire, Texas passed away
peacefully in his sleep on
August 12, 2016.
Born in Morrilton, Arkansas and raised in Gainesville,
Texas, Laron worked hard to
provide for his family, making his own way from humble beginnings growing up
in a small town fire station
to become an accomplished
Houston trial attorney.
Laron lived life guided
by his core values of honesty, loyalty, and justice. He
loathed hypocrisy and those
who would take advantage
of the disenfranchised.
He believed that we are
all responsible for doing
the necessary work to better
oneself, achieve one’s goals,
but never to do so at someone else’s expense. He taught
that although this does not
come easy, each person has
the strength and resources
inside themselves to accomplish their goals. He often
conveyed this humorously
to his family, quoting from
the movie The Last Detail,
“You ARE the shore patrol!”
He approached challenges
with a constant, energetic
pursuit of knowledge and
self-education. He demanded excellence from himself
and encouraged it in others.
Laron was born with the desire to achieve great things
and with the will to make
them possible and to make
the world a better place.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:
GAINESVILLE ISD
After graduating from
Gainesville High School in
1964, Laron immediately
entered the U.S. Army. He
began his higher education
at what is now North Central Texas College and received his B.A. from North
Texas State University in
1970. Laron then attended
the University of Houston
Law Center and was admitted to the Texas Bar in
1973. As a lawyer, Laron
spoke on behalf of citizens
who were damaged by misconduct and negligence.
With his friend and partner,
William Michael Leebron
II, he founded the law firm
Leebron & Robinson. Laron
worked hard to reach great
success, overcame many obstacles, and yet never forgot
where he came from. He was
a generous man of great integrity. He possessed an uncommon intellect and memory. Laron also had a gift for
helping and educating others, he taught his friends,
colleagues and family the
value of hard work and the
crucial need for fairness. His
life demonstrated that integrity brings its own rewards,
adding value directly to the
world by helping others,
and indirectly by inspiring
others to be their best selves.
As one of his oldest
friends said, “Laron was my
hero.” Laron was in many
ways an intellectual, solitary, singular man. Yet his
deep capacity for empathy
and his genuine concern for
the welfare of others created
networks of rich relationships. He built friendships
with people from all walks of
life. Laron enjoyed spending
time with his wife, traveling with his family, reading
the histories of great leaders, studying American and
European history, listening
to his children’s musical endeavors, playing the lottery,
the piano, and volunteering
his great story-telling gifts as
a docent at the Holocaust
Museum Houston.
Survivors
Laron is survived by the
love of his life, Jana Robinson, with whom he enjoyed 43 love-filled years
of marriage, as well as their
adult children, Andrew and
Lauren Robinson. Laron is
also survived by his beloved
aunts, Anna Robinson and
Mattie Crockett, and by his
three brothers, Herbert, Larry, and Charles Robinson.
Donations
Laron is buried at Forest
Park Lawndale Cemetery
and donations in his memory can be made to M.D.
Anderson Cancer Center.

Happy New Year
By Mark Shields
As regular readers may remember, I have long insisted
that Jan. 1 -- smack in the
middle of winter and completely overshadowed by
Christmas, just a week earlier -- makes no sense as to
when to begin the year. Labor Day -- the first Monday
in September, when days
grow shorter and weather
cooler, when vacations end
and schools reopen and
summer gives way to autumn -- is the more logical
New Year’s Day.
If Labor Day is to become
the real New Year’s Day,
then it will need some resolutions, predictions, even
semi-reflections.
Given the unfavorable
personal ratings both Democrat Hillary Clinton and
Republican Donald Trump
get from voters in every poll,
2016 could turn out to be
a Mae West election. For
those too young to recall,
the earthy and occasionally profane Mae West was
Hollywood’s original blond
bombshell, and she once
observed in a film, “When
caught between two evils, I
generally like to take the one
I never tried.”
This presidential campaign, sadly, has been almost
humor-free. Indiana Gov.
Mike Pence, the GOP VP
nominee, is earnest but not
publicly witty. Mitch Daniels, the current Purdue University president and former
budget director under President George W. Bush, was
Pence’s Statehouse predecessor. It was Daniels who humorously introduced himself to a roomful of reporters
this way:
“I bring greetings from
my beloved Indiana, a land
of surprises where, as we say,
South Bend is in the north,
North Vernon’s in the south
and French Lick is not what
you hoped it was.”
Since Harry Truman left
the White House some
63 years ago, the U.S. has
elected six presidents to two
consecutive terms (Dwight
Eisenhower, Richard Nixon,
Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and
Barack Obama), but only
once since then -- in 1988,
with the election of George
H.W. Bush to succeed Reagan -- have voters given a
party a third consecutive
term. If Hillary Clinton
does win a third White
House term for the Democrats in November, then it’s
a good bet that the overriding reason will be that the
2016 election turned out to
be a referendum on Donald
Trump.
I resolve to put on my
car’s bumper the campaign
sticker of the candidate who
in the first presidential debate, on Sept. 26, can, in 60
seconds, make a direct case
for her/his election without
once mentioning his/her opponent.
How was the United States
-- without either a glutenfree cuisine or quinoa anywhere on the menu -- ever
able to win both World War
II and the Cold War?
Since the end of World
War II, well over 100 countries have become democracies. It is fair to say that
the American democratic
experience has inspired millions around the globe. But
what does it tell us that not a
single one of the world’s new
democracies, when choosing how to elect its national
leadership, even considered
copying our uniquely irrational Electoral College system?
How irrational is the Electoral College? Consider this:
California, the largest state,
has approximately 39 million residents, and having
53 U.S. representatives and
two U.S. senators entitles it
to 55 electoral votes. This
means that California gets
one electoral vote for every
700,000-plus of its citizens,
while Wyoming -- which
has a total population of
just 584,000 but two U.S.
senators and one U.S. representative -- is awarded three
electoral votes, translating
roughly to one electoral vote
for every 195,000 Wyomingites.
It remains mathematically impossible to over-tip a
waitress at breakfast.
Happy Labor -- New
Year’s -- Day.

Patrick J. Buchanan
A Eulogy for John J. McLaughlin
By Patrick J. Buchanan
To
understand
John
McLaughlin, it was helpful
to have been a 13-year-old
entering an all-boys Jesuit
school in the 1950s.
For when John yelled
“Wronnng” at me from
his center chair of “The
McLaughlin Group,” it hit
with the same familiar finality I had heard, many times,
from Jesuits at the front of
the class at Gonzaga.
In that era, John was himself a Jesuit teacher at Fairfield Prep, where the black
cape he wore and his authoritarian aspect had earned
him from his students the
nickname -- Father God.
In 1970, Fr. John heard
another calling, and, declaring himself a liberal Republican, challenged Sen. John
Pastore in his home state of
Rhode Island. An unamused
Sen. Pastore obliterated
John by two-to-one.
It was right after this election, while I was vacationing in the Bahamas, that,
one morning, I encountered
Father John in his Bermuda
shorts at a hotel newsstand
on Paradise Island.
John was soon, at poolside, explaining to me why
I, as a Catholic and a beneficiary of eight years of Jesuit
education, had a moral obligation, a moral duty, to get
him a job as a speechwriter
in the Nixon White House.
Over some resistance, we
succeeded, and John was
soon the oracle of the shop,
known to younger speechwriters as, “The Rev.”
When Watergate broke,
Nixon’s aide Dick Moore
urged John to get out and
use his speaking talents to
defend the president. John
was soon out on the front
lawn of the White House
preaching to large assemblies of writing press and TV
cameras.
Dick Moore told me,
“Pat, I think we’ve created a
monster.”
But John was a portrait
in loyalty to the embattled
president.
When transcripts of the
Oval Office tapes were
released, containing the
phrase, “expletive deleted,”
hundreds of times, and Dr.
Billy Graham was publicly
scandalized, John was unfazed.
He stepped out on the
White House lawn and immortalized himself by calling Richard Nixon, and I
quote, “the greatest moral
leader in the last third of
this century.” Now that is
loyalty.
When President Ford
came in, John, despite his
resistance, was the first man
out of the White House. To
raise his profile, he asked me
to contact William F. Buckley Jr., and get him on as a
guest on “Firing Line.”
I wrote Buckley, and got
back a letter that read in its
entirety, “Dear Patrick: Intending no disrespect, who
is the Rev. John J. McLaughlin, S. J.? Cordially, Bill.”
As it would have crushed
John, I did not show him
the letter, until he became
famous. As he soon did.
John achieved a niche
in the pantheon of television journalism when, in
1982, he launched “The
McLaughlin Group.” As one
of the initial panelists, I was
joined by Bob Novak of the
perpetual scowl, known to
colleagues as “The Prince of
Darkness,” Jack Germond
and Mort Kondracke.
Soon Eleanor Clift was
aboard, and far from being
discriminated against as a
woman, she was treated every bit as badly as the rest of
us.
“The McLaughlin Group”
was a media controversy and
a sensation from the first of
its 34 years. President Reagan was a regular viewer.
It was balanced between
left and right. Panelists were
told to bring opinions as
well as facts. John welcomed
disagreement. And rather
than confine the issues to
the political, he introduced
ideological, cultural, social
and even moral issues.
John selected the topics
and the tape to be used, edited his own copy, and ran
the show like a ringmaster
at a circus -- to which the
Group was sometimes compared.
And he introduced new
features. Predictions at the
end of each show. Annual
awards shows. I loved it. It
was great, great fun.
Some journalists sniffed
in disparagement, but others
like Fred Barnes, Clarence
Page, Michael Barone, Tony
Blankley, Mort Zuckerman
and Tom Rogan became
regulars.
And John was loyal.
When I took a leave of absence to go into the Reagan White House, then
requested three more leaves
to pursue private endeavors
in the 1990s, which did not
pan out, John, after leaving
me in the penalty box for
a while, always brought me
back to the beadle’s chair.
At the end, we could see
how badly John was failing.
But, unlike Maritza, who
took wonderful care of him,
we did not know how much
he was suffering, or the nature of the illness that was
taking his life. That he soldiered on in the job he loved
for so long is a testament to
the courage and character of
the man. He persevered.
John and I loved to banter
about our favorites poets like
T. S. Eliot and recite to each
other Latin passages we had
learned in school and the
Old Church. And in writing
this eulogy the words of the
poet Catullus, to his brother, came to mind:
Atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale.
And forever, brother, hail
and farewell.
This eulogy was delivered
Saturday, Aug. 20, in the
Basilica at the Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception in
Washington, D.C.

Letter to the Editor...
Editor’s note – Letters to
the Editor reflect only the
opinion of the author and
not that of The Weekly News
of Cooke County. Facts contained in Letters to the Editor are claims of the author
only. The (...) denotes areas
that have been edited.
To the Editor,
My happiness is fast becoming un-pursued.
So, here I was bungling
along for years, minding my
own business and not thinking much of anything accept
making enough money to
raise kids and live life happily ever after. Then, out
of the blue, intrusion of
government has become so
prevalent that my pursuit of
happiness is more than jeopardized. Now, too many
daylight hours are spent
wondering, what in the
world could “they” possibly
do next? Also, if I watch
the evening news on T.V.,
or read the newspaper and
internet, my wakeful nights
are filled with anguish.
From the lies that are
known - to those that hide
them from us. From the cost
of insurance - to too much
taxes. From wars - to rumors
of wars (there are so many
‘from’ to ‘to’ anymore, that
I can’t seem to list them all).
But, finally, to the boys in
restrooms that have always
been reserved for our pretty
little daughters (which has
to be one of the most idiotic
edicts that has ever come
across the desks of our state’s
governments, and thusly,
into our schools). Now, I’m
no longer just offended. I’m
ired, which is well beyond
irked.
Why, when I was a juvenile, I knew many a delinquent that, given this
chance, the doors leading
into a girls restroom would
be needing a lot of oil on the
hinges to keep the flames
down. Perhaps, me included. Boys will be boys,
you know. Stupidity and
all things considered, how
do we know if someone has
become transgendered. Do
they have a sign or card or
are we supposed to know
them by how they walk and
talk? And, if we do, will
that be classified as racist,
prejudiced or some other ‘ist
or ‘ism? Swishing is easy to
emulate if the price is right.
But, this is not the only reason why I’m divulging to
this editor my dilemma of
being a United States citizen and using the freedom
of speech that we sometimes
have.
Not only has my pursuit
of happiness become almost
extinct (someone really
should sue the government),
but my belief in mankind
has become jaded. I don’t
blame Obama or Clinton(s)
or Trump. Nor do I hold
into account any official
with power to render laws
into being. My trouble lies
with all of us gullible people who vote the Godless
characters into any kind of
authority -- from city, state
and federal. It seems as if
Godless people do un-Godly things.
It could be said, “Open
your eyes and ears and get
all of the information you
can on the candidate. Then,
open your Bible, and find
out the trials and tribulations that could possibly follow a fellow with too much
power that can’t discern
right from wrong.”
The Bible’s history - our
nation’s history - is fraught
with the utmost readable accounts of do’s and don’ts and
what happens if the decisions are based on egotistical
power, lies, and greed. And
the pursuit there-of, of any
of these.
Here-in lies yet another
dilemma (aren’t we all just
filled with dilemmas). To
opine aloud or not - to a
readership whom could
care less of something they
already know. And if they
don’t know, I’m sure I’m
not the one who is going
to change their mind. But,
then, the votes they cast
could hardly be beneficial to
“The Pursuit of Happiness”.
By the way, who or what
is supposed to make us happy? Why was “The Pursuit
of Happiness” put in a document for all to see and follow? How is a pursuit done?
I think I used to know, but I
think I’m losing it along the
way. I can catch a glimpse
of it every now and then.
And the elation I behold is
well worth trying/fighting
for just a little more...one
more time. Maybe, though,
I’ve been looking for “it” in
some places that it will never
be.
In God we trust. To Him
be all the Honor, Glory and
Power. And amen.

To the Editor,
In last week’s paper there
were several notices of tax
cases filed by the GISD.
There is one filed against
“Gainesville Texas Senior
Citizens Foundation” which
has caused quite a bit of
confusion for our organization. Extensive research has
established this to be a case
of mistaken identity on the
part of the readers.
We would appreciate this
opportunity to use your
“Letters to the Editor’ forum to correct this misunderstanding. The Stanford
House Senior Citizens Activity Center is in NO WAY
associated with the “Gainesville Texas Senior Citizens
Foundation” and we have
NO tax cases pending or
filed against the Stanford
House by GISD or any other tax collecting agency.
Thank you for allowing us
to correct this misconception in your forum.
Kathi Kirby
Executive Director
Stanford House Senior
Citizen Activity Center
To the Editor,
Just a hearty Thank You
to everyone at the North
Texas Medical Center!
I enjoyed a very nice
lunch, Thursday, July 17th at
NTMC and I was pleased to
sit among other folks wanting to know more about our
hospital’s future. Actually, it
is a shame that we did not
have a packed house!
I am so happy to see how
transparent and forth coming Dr Ramin Roufeh is. I
pray that our community of
medical providers will get
behind OUR hospital! I
pray that who ever steps up
to take ownership/management of NTMC will keep
community first. We are a
small town, but we need big
city medical services near by.
NTMC:
Thank you
for all that you are doing!
Thanks to Dr. Roufeh for
what he is doing as Interim
CEO. And, thank you to all
of the hospital departments,
en masse, as you work
through this transition! I
personally love the services
and compassion from Joe
Christian and his staff in
Physical Therapy!
Bravo, NTMC, Bravo!
